Hamish Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 3 minutes ago, RogerH said: I would be seriously surprised if any body in the two sets of photo's come down with C19. Roger i do really hope you are right and everyone is ok. I cannot answer why there is not more done around vit D and obviously aware of prof P and his views on it. im disappointed that it looks like there is some drop off of effectiveness of the vaccine hence the booster consideration. And detest the money making I the back of this pandemic via “gov contracts” etc but the fact is it’s rife out there and would like to see people erring in the side of caution. im sorry I posted this on a nice happy picture based thread. so someone please post a nice car based pic so this thread can move on.

roy53 Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Hamish i totally agree with you and NTC. With the information we have and the figures of continued infections why do people think it's over ? It's no different to 12 months ago so . Good to get out and meet again but using the same guidelines perhaps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No it isn't Hamish. The 20,000 "cases" per day are nothing of the sort. They are positive results from a test which is being applied incorrectly (far too many amplification cycles) and which was never designed to be used for mass-screening (it's originator stated that). A "case" is someone who is actually sick but we are not told how many that is. The latest figures show about 6000 hospitalised on average - out of a population of 70 million. Hardly a definition of rife in my book. The figures of the number who recover and are discharged are never published either but we do know that deaths are currently around 80 per day, which is tragic but a tiny number. In my >three-score-and-ten years I have lived through many health scares from Diphtheria and Polio to swine and bird flu, many of which resulted in death rates well in excess of the present scare. Never before have I been ordered to run away and hide. Government propaganda (yes - that is what it is) has resulted in a paranoid population. This is a disease which badly affects only a small minority and kills even fewer. The truth is we have to learn to live with this as we have with all the others. I am quite willing to take my chance and will not be running away and hiding ever again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ntc Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Rob I just look at the facts, Hospitable wards are filling fast and all our local ones have banned visitors three weeks ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) Where do you get that from Neil ? Don't believe what the BBC tells you, look at the numbers: https://data.spectator.co.uk If hospitals are filling it isn't with covid cases, it is with people who have been waiting a year for treatment for other things.

Are the air filters upside down on the carbs? Ciao, Marco Cheers Marco, No issue's with running, nor acceleration ..other than what might be expected from a car which would benefit from being tuned, once its carbs are rebuilt and probably its distributor too. I've not touched either since I bought the car, other than to add a little oil to the dash-pots. I plan on looking at the spark plugs today ..for the first time since I bought the car, but also now after it having a decent run. Pete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Les Millington Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 If you're stopping anywhere on Skye or the near mainland would anyone in your group be okay with me having a wee look at their TR4A? I've nothing much to compare mine with here and it would be nice to see both original or mods in the flesh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Les Millington Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 It's about a 40 mile drive away which would be no problem to pop down in an evening. We stay 7 miles south of Dunvegan off the A863, north west Skye, are you stopping to visit any of the usual places or simply touring? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris59 Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) My TR2 was out today : as often as possible, I spent a couple of hours at rowing here.

Z320 Posted September 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) We have been out with the TR to the Sunday weekly (during summer) classic car meeting at the Mercedes Benz Museum / Stuttgart. Constantly coming and going, most just stayed for an hour, not so much crowded as it seams on the photo Most unarrested was a big group of young americans traveling the world again.... Lots of Mercedes Benz, of course, and lots of American 60- and 70-ies, this was my most favorite (from England, of course).
